Unsupervised segmentation method for cuboidal cell nuclei in histological prostate images based on minimum cross entropy

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a segmentation method for cuboidal cells nuclei in prostate images.

• We validate the method by quantitative evaluation.

• We compare the method with other segmentation methods.

• The method allows segmentation with a mean accuracy of 97%.

• The method is effective in images of normal, hyperplasia and cancer tissue.
